We Are The Branches… “Jesus answered them and
said, “Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me
not because you saw signs but because you ate the
loaves and were filled. Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life,
which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the
Father, God, has set his seal”

There are many reasons why you should vote. Here’s a
few to think about.!
♦ It’s your duty as a citizen of the USA. You benefit
from the freedoms and privileges we have as a
wealthy and powerful nation. Make sure these
freedoms and privileges continueVOTE;!
♦ It’s a right not all people have. Not everyone in the
world has the privilege to participate in the choosing of their government leaders. Make sure you do
not squander this freedomVOTE;!
♦ It’s your responsibility as a Catholic Christian. Our
government does not always see eye to eye with
Christian principles. You have an opportunity to
choose politicians who more clearly reflect those
principles of life, liberty and justice that are closely
aligned with the teachings of JesusVOTE;!
♦ You’ve complained about our politicians, now you
can do something about it. Do you really want to
spend another 2 years complaining and regretting
that nothing was done to make a changeVOTE;!
♦ The future of our country is at stake. This is your
opportunity to make a difference. Even if your candidate does not win you have made a statement
with your vote and you have said that it does matter what takes place in the life of the United States
of AmericaVOTE! Father Lou!
